Antibacterial/Antifungal/Antiviral Agents

By elucidating the antibacterial mechanism of existing mono-type quaternary ammonium salts, a more advanced bis-type ,vicinal type quaternary ammonium salt was created.

The scientific basis for the activity expression of these advanced compounds has also been demonstrated.

Quaternary ammonium salts have until now been considered to have a weakness in their low efficacy against fungi  and yeasts; however, Hygienia is water-soluble while exhibiting excellent antifungal, fungicidal, and antiviral activity.

Efficacy is not diminished even across a wide pH range, a wide temperature range, or in the presence of various organic compounds.

This is a specific property  not found in existing quaternary ammonium salts.

The aqueous solutions is extremely stable, ensuring quality and safety throughout storage and transportation.

Furthermore, as corrosivity toward metals, resins, and similar materials is very low, there is no concern of adverse effects on machinery and equipment.

As Hygienia has a water solubility of 50% or greater, preparation of aqueous formulations is straightforward.

Since no solvents or no dispersants are required for formulation, there are no concerns regarding volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it an environmentally friendly agent.

Formulation costs can also be reduced.

Quaternary ammonium salts have long been recognized for their high level of safety.

Like existing quaternary ammonium salts, Hygienia is likewise a highly safe..

Owing to its numerous features, Hygienia is already in broad use across fields including water treatment, food processing, and residential disinfection and deodorization.

Delivery in forms amenable to secondary processing, such as various formulations and aqueous solutions, is also possible.
